Seoul - The 2009 world figure skating champion Kim Yu Na will skate as a 'mysterious James Bond Girl' to the "007 James Bond Medley"when she bids for the gold medal at the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics, Kim's dance director said. Kim's dance director David Wilson said soundtracks from such James Bond films as Thunderbolt,' Die Another Day, and ' Dr. No,' will be included in a medley.
"I have chosen this music because I have confidence that Yu Na will make a great 'James Bond girl' on the ice, as her image fits well with the 'beautiful, mysterious and dangerous image of the James Bond girl, David Wilson said.
Fans say that the image of Bond Girl departs from her previous image of poetic charm that earned her a stardom on the skating scene.
"When I first heard this James Bond music, I was not sure. But when I listened to it repeatedly, I find myself enjoying this music," Kim said.
Fans say Kim's unusual choice of background music comes from her confidence to stand apart from her competitor Mao Asada of Japan, who has great skill at triple axels.
In March, Yu Na, unseated the reigning champion Mao Asada, and won the Four Continents figure skating championship in Vancouver.
Mao Asada was described by judge as a 'graceful' performer, while Kim was praised for the 'poetic' performance.
"When I first met her three years ago, Kim was a shy girl. She has grown to be a beautiful lady. The James Bond music will bring you to a journey showing the growing Yu Na from a girl to a woman," said Wilson.
Kim's current coach Brian Orser recently told the figure skating news site Ice Network, "Kim looks aggressive and energetic in the short program. She even looks mature and sexy."
The 18-year-old Kim Yu Na arrived in Korea Tuesday for an ice show held from Aug. 14 to 16 in Seoul. She usually stay in Canada for training.
